Chinese auto parts must face the challenge of global procurement


The reporter Wang Wenzhao reported that Cao Dewang, chairman of the Board of Directors of Fuyao Glass Industry Group Co., Ltd., said at the recent China Automotive Industry Summit that under the global procurement situation, Chinese auto parts companies face great difficulties.

The first is the impact of technology and system; due to the late start of the Chinese auto industry. At the same time, subject to the constraints of the planned economic system in the past, the original parts and components companies supporting domestic cars must face the difficulties of technological upgrading and system reform, and they are also facing funding problems.

The second is insufficient technology accumulation. Strictly speaking, China still does not have its own complete automotive technology. Although there are many cars produced in the market, they are all assembled. Under such circumstances, it can be imagined how much Chinese auto parts companies can accumulate technology. .

The third is limited by the restrictions of foreign car manufacturers. Because many vehicles are not designed in China. China's component export or domestic supply has a competitive impact on other countries, and foreign counterparts are robbing them of greater profits in the Chinese market. It is often the case that foreign manufacturers do not deliver parts drawings to Chinese companies. In this case, don't talk about exports. The parts needed for domestic assembly are also affected.

Fourth, foreign spare parts companies use the advantages of entrusted design to monopolize the Chinese market. Because China's depots are mostly the introduction of vehicle models. It is the responsibility of foreign car dealers. Foreign car makers have to dispose parts and components that have to be configured to foreign parts factory design. They designate what kind of materials they need to use. This kind of material only has its own or registered patents, so even if Chinese companies can produce, they must give up because of this restriction. For example, if Asahi Glass of Japan designs the automotive glass for Toyota's Crown 965N in Tianjin, it will definitely use UV-CUT glass. result. Chinese companies have to give up orders because they cannot purchase such glass. It should be said that this is a conspiracy. They not only restrict China's parts and, more seriously, it is setting a trap for Chinese consumers. I remember that in the early 1980s, when the Japanese sold their cars to China, a car was only a few thousand US dollars, but afterwards, a glass of glass also sold for thousands of dollars.

Fifth, the state pays insufficient attention to the development of the spare parts industry. The entire vehicle is assembled from parts and components, in order to have a high vehicle level. Must have a high level of parts industry. If the state can realize that the automobile industry is the leading enterprise of the national economy and attaches importance to the development of the automobile industry, it should also attach importance to the development of the parts and components industry.

Cao Dewang also put forward some countermeasures: First, we should pay great attention to R&D from the strategic point of view, and realize that the core competitiveness of the spare parts industry is independent research and development. Second, we must strengthen the internal management of enterprises, make great efforts to improve product quality and accuracy, reduce production costs, improve after-sales service, strengthen personnel training, and combine technology and management to improve the competitiveness of enterprises. Third, we must take an open-minded and forward-looking perspective on corporate mergers and reorganizations and actively seek cooperation with domestic and international parts companies. Fourth, we must be fully prepared to respond at any time to the “anti-dumping” allegations against foreign companies’ exports of our products. Fifth, in order to protect domestic industrial development through international practices, the state should introduce industrial policies and limit the use of specified products to zero.
